About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Career Machinist to join a precision manufacturing team supporting advanced mechanical components and assemblies used in cutting-edge electronic and microwave applications.
This role operates at the intersection of machining excellence and engineering collaboration.

- Support new product introduction (NPI) and production transition
- Ensure process stability, repeatability, and yield performance
- Utilize advanced metrology tools to verify conformance to tight tolerances
- Interpret and apply engineering drawings including GD&T
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in tooling, fixturing, and cycle time optimization
- Maintain thorough documentation of setups, tooling strategies, and process changes
Qualifications
We are seeking a motivated machinist with strong technical capability and a passion for precision.
Required:
- Career-level machining experience in high-precision environments
- Strong understanding of machining fundamentals and tight tolerance work
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
- Strong teamwork and communication skills
- Positive attitude, flexibility, and willingness to learn
- Highly Desired Experience:
- 3- to 5-axis CNC milling

- CNC/CAM programming
- CAD/Solid Modeling software
- Tool grinding and custom tool development
